Geothermal Energy
“There is an urgent need to stop subsidizing the fossil fuel industry dramatically reduce wasted energy and significantly shift our power supplies” (McKibben). Geothermal energy is the heat from the earth.Resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and rock beneath the earth’s surface.people can capture this energy through power plants,which use heat from deep inside the earth to generate steam to make electricity.A geothermal system is three to four times more efficent than the most efficent ordinary system.Although the sun does heat on the earth´s surface heat from inside the earth is not caused by the sun.Geothermal energy is positive because It´s good,and it helps the economy. However,Geothermal

has over 3,000 MW installed geothermal capacity – more than any other country in the world – and this number will continue to grow in the coming years. According to the Department of Commerce, geothermal is one of only two renewables that exports more than it imports in the United States. Geothermal equipment manufacturers and service providers exist in almost every state and are able to provide jobs in places like Kentucky or Oklahoma and then export their good Geothermal projects produce energy for decades at stable, affordable prices. Viewed in terms of life cycle costs, geothermal power is economically attractive, providing the lowest cost renewable power and providing long-term fixed power prices. This also reduces price volatility, helping to avoid price spikes and energy crises, which can impose severe economic penalties on business and local communities. Geothermal is available everywhere in various forms. Geothermal power production, as discussed previously, provides reliable baseload power to the electricity grid and geothermal heat pumps are heating and cooling homes and businesses in all 50 U.S. states, and around the
